Well, you got it like that, good on ya.We've been using these guys for years and of course we got a second opinion.
The guys we use were only a couple hundred more so we stuck with the guys we've been using.
It sure is,the roof was only $20k
another reason I am glad I learned how to do things,,
I put two new systems in two houses heat and AC and one of them didnt have central heat and I am in for less than 5 grand including duct work for both of them,,
I feel for you,, I spent many decades taking care of big houses and why I dont want anything over 1500 sq ftThe house has a shitload of ductwork and it's a royal bitch to get to them and route them.
As far as getting a quality A/C goes you would've had to buy a cheap brand or they were very small units.
I know how to install an A/C system I worked in my step dads A/C company when I was younger.
And it being 105 today there's no way in hell I'm crawling around in an attic,I sprayed insulation as a summer job and it was fucking brutal!!!
Add the fact that I have to use a cane after a botched hip surgery and take morphine twice a day to deal with the pain means there's no way in hell
I can crawl around in an attic physically,especially when I only have the use of one hand because the other one has a cane in it.
Well, you got it like that, good on ya.
Maybe some of my ancestors were Hebrew, Idk..
I can get a 5-ton for 7k installed, existing duct work, though.
I could do that (duct work) myself, but would wait until winter.
And I would, because I'm all about saving a buck.![]()
What refrigerant do they use? Jeez! That's more than a roof!
Naw, it should not have been that much.
3x say..7500, and your duct work, which I think they padded as well..
You might want to invest in insulation, window upgrades, and check for gaps around doors.
My house in Florida was 4100SF with 2 4.5k AC units. More than adequate but I had done all of the above.
Oh,we had the attic units and the outdoor units a well as the furnaces replaced.
So yeah if it were just the outdoor units it would have been much cheaper.
Does it get cold there? Cold here is 27 degrees, and I'm out at the well with a heat gun @ 7AM to thaw this sensor line mathingy when it is.After that last crazy ass winter we had I'd rethink that.![]()

I tried insulating that thing, no dice, had to rip the insulation off to heat it up so the water flows.
I can handle cold, but hot like it is these days? Oh! Oh yes! The AC just kicked on, yay!
I is gettin soft. When I was a kid, we only used AC 3-4x a year. Like when it was

Hmm.. you need some kinda heat. Emergency heat on the AC may would have been enough (teh strips and squirrel cage), but whatever, you got it handled.It was well below freezing for a week with temps in the teens at night.
We ended up with four broken water pipes and it killed most of the plants.
Ok man I was following this thread with interest until now. There is no way, NO WAY, broken water pipes can kill plants! I can't believe it!It was well below freezing for a week with temps in the teens at night.

Wednesday they say it will be 116 here. It's the heat.It ain't the heat, kiddies, it's the humidity.
I lived in California for over 30 years, north of Los Angeles, south of Santa Barbara, never had air conditioning, not even in my cars. I lived in New Mexico for 3 years, swamp cooler was all we needed. Texas? South Carolina? A house without A/C is unimaginable.
So you gonna fire up the swamp cooler, or AC?Wednesday they say it will be 116 here. It's the heat.
That can actually use less power for the same effect. I'm thinking about getting one.All I have is three ac window units. We'll will use those. That central air bullshit is too expensive and I've had bad experiences with it.
